Great Spangled Fritillary
Speyeria cybele

Observation date: May 28, 2016
Submitted by: lilkriskattn
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: None.
Status: Resident
Verified by: dbruce
Verified date: May 29, 2016
Coordinator notes: The photo of the ventral side almost suggests S. aphrodite, due to the darkness in the pale submarginal band; however, I think this is just a shadow. The dorsal photo does not show a black dot below the cell, providing evidence in favor of S. cybele.
